Just a heads up. Sometimes there are consequences to being opinionated on the Internet. A few hours after posting my entry about the Sex: A Tell All Exhibition at The Museum of Science and Technology, I received an invitation from the producer of CBC radio’s Ottawa Morning to participate in a short, on-air debate about the merits of the exhibit with Dave Quist of The Institute For Marriage and Family Canada.
I was nervous as all get out, especially about the prospect of forming coherent sentences before 7:30 in the morning. But in the end, I think I did okay. At the very least I sounded like a human being*.
Some of you have already heard it, but if you missed it and you want to know how it all went down, you can listen to the clip here.
* Thank you, thank you, thank you to The MoMs and my friend/colleague Barbara for helping me prepare. Without them, my side of the discussion would have pretty much been “sEx mUSeuMs iS gOoD, bLaaArGH!”

I thought you sounded very eloquent for that time of the morning!! I fear I can hardly form a sentence before I have my first cup of tea. Usually it’s just grunts. Lol
Thank you! I made up for my early morning coherence by blathering dully for the rest of that day.
Well done! Your point of view was measured and logical.
Thank, Patti! Mr. Quist and I obviously disagree but he did keep the discussion respectful which made it easier to remain focused on expressing myself clearly.
